Probable Topics for Discussion
When the Interstate Commits
sioners Come.
The railroad commissioners of Iowa,
Nebraska and Wisconsin," said Gen.
Becker, of the state railroad commits
sion, to GLOBE reporter yesterday,
"have so far been the only ones to Sig
nifty their intention of attending the
proposed conference of Northwestern
railroad commissioners with the inter-
state commission. The national COM
mission is expected to arrive here Sept.
IS, and the length of their stay is not
yet known. The commissioners from
the Northwest will first meet and de-
eide on what subjects to present to the
interstate commission, after which an
endeavOr will be made to meet with the
latter body.
I'VE havn't any idea what action
these state boards will take in the mat
ter. OF course wehave an idea of what
ought to be done. The two subjects
outlined in our letter of invitation will
probably be the principal ones dis
cusSed. They are, the abolition of car
load rates, and wise revision of local
rates, so that the small shippers will
not be crowded out by the railroads.
1.-The meeting will undoubtedly be
good thing for all the commissioners,
and may, perchance, pave the way for
future concerted action on questions of
Importance to the shippers of the
Northwest. The convention held at
Des Moines last spring passed resolu-
tons in favor of national convention
of railroad commissioners to confer
with the interstate commissioners.
Nothing has as yet come of that, and
this convention is simply the Northwest
carrying out that plan. Dakota, II Ii
nOis, Kansas and Missouri have not yet
been heard FROM

WEST ST. PAUL POLICE.
The Committee Considering, the
Request For an Increased Force.


Request For an Increased Force.
The council committee on police has
under consideration a petition from
citizens on the West side, headed by the
signature of Capt. j. A. Starkey. asking
that the number of police on the West
side be increased, and claiming that the
present force is entirely inadequate.
The Ducas street station detail, in COM
mand of Capt. Walsh, includes one
sergeant. eleven patrolmen, a jailer and
driver. The petitioners ask that there
be added to this number nine patr0lmen.
Capt. Starkey says the present force
cannot possibly be distributed so as to
afford protection to any of the suburban
portions of West st. Paul. He said:
There are 10000 people and great
deal of valuable property on the West
side, and we have certainly not had our
prOpOrtionate share in the allotment of
men to the various precincts" On
the other hand Chief Clark says that
since the opening of the Sub-Stations
and the addition to the force OF twenty
five men last spring the West side de
tail has been increased from six to fif-
teen men, being considerably more than
its pr0p0rtiOnate share, there are no
diSOrderly houses on the West side and
no lawless gangs to require especial po-
lice surveillance. The chief says he
will not object to increasing the West
side detail if the council will provide
for the appointment of new men, but
thinks the distribution to the various
stations is properly equalized at present,
and he also refuses to make a request
upon the council for charging the force
again until next spring. From the re-
ports of Capt. Walsh the following fig
ures will show what has been done in
his precinct since the Ducas street sta
ton was opened. The number of ar
rests in May for offenses against city
ordinances was IS and against the state
5; in June the minor offenSeS numbered
104 and the state offenseS 80; in July,
minor offenses 167 and state offenses II;
in August, minor offenses IS and state
OffenSeS 20.

A Colored Mans Complaint of Iil-Treat-
ment on Georgia Railroad.
THE Chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission has announced the decision of the
Commission in the case of the Providence
Coal Company against the Providence and
Worcester Railroad The complaint covers
three main points. The commission decides
that the allowance OF q rebate to parties who
ship more than 600 tons a year is unwsr-
ranted and invalid. The commission also de-
cides that the charge Of higher rate upon
shipments from Providence than upon those
from East Providence is unwarranted and in
valid The third point relating to charge OF
eight cents for street hauling, is decided to be
q matter with which the commission can not
deal The commission also gave hearing
in the case Of William III. Council against the
Western and Atlantic Railroad Council is

first-class ticket, charges that he WAS refused
permission 10 ride in first-class car and was

The Amos.

A puzzle to the ethnologist is pre-
sented in the fast-expiring race which
were the true predecessors of the Jap
anese all over the Japanese Archipela-.
go. The dawn of history shows the
Amos living far to the south and west
of their present haunts; and ever since
then, century by century, we see them
retreating eastward and northward as
steadily as the American Indian has re-
treated westward under the pressure of
the colonists from Europe Their
numbers are growing smaller decade
by decade; their industries are passing
into Japanese hands; the animals which
were their principal sustenance are rap
idly becoming extinct; the survivors of
this people almost all speak japanese
as we'll as their own tongue, and are
losing their special characteristics. The
race is now no more than "curio" to
the philologist and to the ethnolo-
gist. It has no future, because it has
no root in the past. The impression
left on the mind after so ,ourn among
the Amos is that of profound melan-
choly. The existence of this race has
been as aimless, as fruitless, as is the
perpetual dashing of the breakers on
the shore of Horobetsu. IL leaves be-
hind it nothing save few names.
